Event Details

Main Street Communications is delighted to host Dare to Live, a workshop designed to help you discover and access the deep, inner you that is longing for expression. In a safe, supportive atmosphere you will be guided to reawaken the intuitive self that may have been marginalized at an early age and to explore, heal, and release feelings of loneliness, abandonment, grief, shame fear, guilt, anger, or sadness. Making room for JOY!

The workshop is primarily experiential with discussion and group participation.

Drucilla Desabrais will lead the workshop. She is a gifted facilitator, currently living her dream in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where she has resided for more than a decade. Her approach to her work is refreshing. She focuses on truth, honesty, and simplicity and leads with a delightful sense of humor. Her life exemplifies her passion and love for living her truth every day.

From Drucilla:

"I believe that in most of us there is an inner self that has not been fully validated or acknowledged. I believe we carry the unexpressed feelings of this inner self into our relationships and often act out these feelings in ways that are unconscious and do not serve what we want in our lives. By validating and acknowledging our inner self we move into the place of empowerment, daring to live what we truly and authentically desire."

From Vicki:

"Taking the Dare to Live workshop two decades ago was one of the best investments I ever made in my personal growth. I had the subsequent honour of working with Drucilla and assisting at her workshops for many years. She is a mentor, teacher, and inspiration. I'm delighted to be able to offer her work in Canada again for the first time in more than ten years. I highly encourage you to take advantage of this rare opportunity and give this gift to yourself."
